DANGER IN ELY POISON.
Move on Foot to Prohibit Their
31:mutat:titre.
Because of the large and increas-
ing number of cases where children
have been poisoned by variou.sfly
poisons, a determined effort is be-
ing made by a number of medical
associations and other sources in-
terested in the health of children to
prohibit the manufacture and sale
of sueh products.
In less than three months during
the summer of; 1913, forty-seven
cases of thildren being poisoned
were reported in the newspapers of
eighteen American states. Of
these quite a number proved fatal,.
and many others were expected to
die.
The rian to -children in the use
of fly pois , lies in the fact that
practically all of them enatain
arsenic in a sufficient quantity to
cause death or very serious illness,
even when but a little of the pre-
paration is swallowed by the child.
Children are particularly attract-
ed to fly poisons because of the fact
that it is customary to mix sugar
with the poison in order to attract
the flies.
There were undoubtedly a. greet
many cases of ehildren being .poi-
soned in this way which 'did not
come to public attention, especially
because of the fact that the symp-
toms of arsenical poisoning in ehil-
dren are almost identical with the
symptoms of cholera infantum.
This deadly infantile disease pre-
vails during the fly season and the
doctors state that it is practically
impossible to determine whether
death was caused by cholera infan-
tum or fly poison, unless the chil-
dren are !actually seen drinking .or
sucking the poison.
The authorities in South Africa
have already taken .steps to regu-
late and ultimately eliminate 'the
sale of fly polsons, and it is hoped
by the opponents of these prepara-
tions to secure prohibitory legisla-
tion in the various states at an
early date.
In the meantime, parents having
sraall ebildern are particularly can-
tioned against the use of fly poison
of any kind in locations where it is
within reach of the children.
The less some men know about
anything the louder they talk about
it.
SOON TAKE THE INITIATIVE
The Germans Must Abandon Their Present Tgctics,
Says a French Expert
A despateh from Paris says: Servia, when !at the very moment
Lieut. -C1, Rousset devotes a. long
editorial in the Liberte to an analy-
sis of the situation ereated by the
extrandinary complex system of
entrenehments on both sides. He
refutes the ,argument often put for-
ward that neither the Germans war
the allies can hope now for a deci-
sive ohange in the near future,
"On the .eantrary," he says,
"very soon we gleai1 be in a. position
to take the initiative,. 'I'he enemy,
run to earth b,oth in the east and
'-'wt, will be foreed to abandon his
regent taetics. Then a batbIe on
apoleonic pei 01ples -will prove
delve as it proved ree-datly in
the Auetrateis 'believed they had a
-victory in hand they were over-
whelmed. Yet before striking, their
crushing blow the Serviane had re-
tired some one hundred kilometres.
"We do not need to retire. On
the contrary, we,are holding. firm,
and we are 'rearing, like valiant
little Servia, our weapons for the
decisive encounter. It is nob num-
bers that guarantee victory. It is
determination to win, and above all
.a steady pursuit of the sok object
of war, namely, the demoralization
of the enemy, When our general
staff efts th moment to wilco heel

Slaughter Follows Effort to Resume
the :Offensive Towards
Warsaw. ,
A despatch from London says:
Sueceas for the Russians in a san-
guinary engagement KM the Rawka,
River 40 Miles south-west of War-
saw at I101ienew, where •the Ger-
mane made a desperate effort to
reeilme•the offeasive,ii‘repeeted in

headquarters of Grand Duke Niehos
tee. The Germans, 'according to
the Rueelan, staternent, moved for -
wind ander a Withering fire from
the Russian artillery, and eendea-
vored to take by assault the treriela
es in front ,of three 'villages east Of

"Our troops," the Grand Duke
report's, "by an impetuous couaters
attaek Slaughtered with their bayo-
nets all of the enemy with the ex-
ceptienaef a few, who were made
prissmer. In this engagement we
captured German machine guns
and inflicted enormous losses ea the
enemy, who brought into action
suecessively regiments from divers
army corps."
At Inoloele, on the Pillea 65 ladles
e.,outh of Warsaw, the Russians
stormed and occupied some Ger-
man trenches. Further south the
Germans, after a longcannonade,
made an infantry assault, which
was repulsed by the Russian artil-
lery, excepting at one point, where
the enemy secured an entrenched
position. Later he Waal dislodged
and thrown out of this ground by
a Russian counter-attaek.
It is unoffleially reported from
Petrograd that the German prison-
ers taken by the Russians during
the last fortnight exceed 50,000 in
number.

FORMIDABLE SI-,xK
IN
CHANNEL
British Battleship Either Hit Mine or Was Tor-
mom.
pedoecl
A despatch from London says:
The British battleship Formidable
was sunk in the English Channel on
Friday morning with the loss, it is
believed, of about 600 officers and
men. So far as is definitely known,
there are 150 survivors of 'the dis-
aster. The vessel's normal comple-
ment was 781 officers and men. The
Daily Chronicle states that surviv-
ors of the battleship Formidable
report, that the vessel was torpe-
doed both fore and aft early Friday
morning and sank almost imme-
diately, giving the crew hardly time
lto escape. The place of the disas-
ter was not given in the official an-
nouncement, nor had the cause of
the vessel's loss been determined.
The brief and rather meagre official
statement issued was as follows:
"The battleship Formidable was
sunk in the Channel but whether by
a mine or a submarine is not yet
certain.
"Eighty survivors have been pick-
ed up by a British lighlbcruiser'and
it. is possible that others may have
been rescued by other vessels."
It was later announced that the
Tor Bay trawler Providence had
landed 70 additional survivor's.
They were rescued by the trawler
during a 'terrific storm Friday
morning. This makes the aggre-
gate number of saved, so far an is
known, 150, Among the eescued
are eight officere'Ved graiashisrr
men.
The Daily Mall quotes from the
Plymouth Mercury a detailed story
of the rescue of the two officers and
68 men by the Brixham trawler
Providence. The Providence was
running for shelter from a gale, but
was compelled to heave to off Start
Point, in Devonshire,. which juts
into the Channel 25 miles south-east
of Plymmith.
The rescue was effected under
dangerous and exciting circum-
stances. The crew of the trawler
was amazed while. running before
the gale for shelter to find a small,
open boat driving under their lee
through mountainous seas with an
oar hoisted, bearing a. sailor's
scarf. After .strenuous efforts those
on the trawler succeeded in getting
a. rope to the cutter and brought
her with great skill to berth at their
stern. .
The naval men began to jump
aboard, ,but even then • there was
danger of losing mon, as 'the seas
were rising thirty feet high. After
thirty minutes' labor, however, all
were safely rescued. One lad of
nineteen was so exhausted by ex-
posure that he requieed immediate
treatment to save his life. When
all had left the dater her rope was
cut as she was full of svelter, hav-
ing a. hole under her hull which
had been stuffed with a pair of
trousers of which one man had di-
vested himself for the purpose.
Some of the 'rescued Then had no
trousers and these were cared for
in the warm engine room. The na-
val men had been in the euteer for
eigarly twelve hours. The -crew of
the trawler distributed hot coffee,
food and tobacco among the be-
numbed sailors. When they landed
at Brixhain the residents brought
blankets, olothing and boots forthe
survivors and housed them in com-
fortable quarters.
British War Prisoner Must Die
A despatch from Copenhagen
says: A Berlin message says that
the German supreme war tribunal
has sentenced a British war prisoner
named Lansdale to death for as-
saulting a German officer at the
Doberitz aoncentration camp. Loos -
dale, in the first instance, was sen-
tenced to ten years' imprisonment,
but the military authorities' appeal
for a eentenoe of capital punish-
ment has been successful. Lans-
dale, it is aclraittecl, did net hurt
the offieer, and the prison guard
beat him off.

ANAGiNG WAR ALL RIGHT
British Public Cease Criticism -There Is No Need
to Fear An Invasion
A despatch from London says:
Criticism of the Government's war
preparations 'which was rampant
during the eerly stages of the war,
has largely ceased, ••
The War Office hag now enlisted
the services of business men with
experience in earrying out big en-
terprises to take. part in the work
of sapplying the aFilly, and the
labor unions have volunteered to
watch the execution of Govern-
ment contracts, not only to see that
proper equipment and rations are
supplied to the soldiers, but to pre-
vent sweating.
Arneld White, a prominent wri-
ter and former .colonial official, has
been Making a thorough inspection
of the trainmg cams for the pur-
pose of detecting ,any .scandals and
mismanagement. Haying been a
bitter enemy of the Government, his
point ef view wee not prejudieed in
its. revue. He elites:
"Having isited 36 donna in vari-
ous parts of the countrynI am thor-
oughly cheered In the majority of
eakas business men are handliug the
diiieult probleins, of war. Dwellers
inland have no eoneeption. of the
thoroughness efficiency and eilence
with which the War Office andethe
Admiralty.have ,co-operated for the
business o1 peel:reeding a German
raid or invasion. The ,alarre that is
still :fela in some parts of these is-
lands is:Wholly uniustified, beeause,
firstly, the bazinees efficiexsey of the
fleet under Jellicoe e has increased
since the war began, and, Secondly,
because the practical measures
adopted- by our military engineers,
if generally known, would enable
the timid to sleep vie* in their
beds."
RUSSIANS: A.GAIN INVADE.
Czar's Troops Have Crossed the
Carpathians by Four Passes.
A despatch from London says:
Reports emanating from 'diplomatic
sources in B,ome are that the Rus-
sians have again crossed the Car-
pathians into Hungary. Four of the
Mountain pesses are said now to be
in -the possession of the forces of
Grand Duke Nicholas, which are at
the heels of the Austrian army re-
treating- towards the plains to -the
southward
The opinion is held that this new
invasion of Hungary, rendered pos-
sible by the collapse of the Aus-
trian offensive in Galicia, will make
it inevitable for Field Marshal von
Hindenburg to draw off.the German
army with which he has been vainly
trying to break down the Russian
defences on the Bzura and Rawka
Rivers to the west of Warsaw.
With Hungary at the mercy of the
Cossacks, and with. all hopesanone
of the defenders of Ceaoowdbeing
reinforced froin the south, it is ex-
pected that the Germ= comman-
der-in-ahief will immediately find it
necessary to transfer the greatee
number of his troops from Poland
in order to defend the Silesia, fron-
tier from invasion.

JOFFRE'S GIFT
TO FRENCHIM
The Richest Part of Alsace Again
Under French Adininis-
tration.
A des.patoh from Paris says: It
is plainly evident that the people
Francs could ,have had no more
pleasing New Year's girt than the
PUS contained in the announcement
that the French Government has
appointed a sub -prefect for the
"'department of Haute -Rhine,"
which comprises the richest part of
She lost province of Alsa,ce. This is
important not only from a senti-
mental point of view, but likewis,e•
from a military basis, It is inter-
prated- as .meaning that..the French
havasion af Alsa,ce-Lorraine
pnogresse,d to.sueh a degree that a
civil .ackninistnation • of 00aq:tiered-
territary is entirely compatible
with the strategic aims of the gen-
eral staff. The re,00cupation of
Alsace-Lorraine disastrously at-
tempted in the early stages of the
war has long' been desirable from
many standpoints. Now it has ap-
parently become necessary boon the
standpoint of offe,neive warfa-re. In
other weeds, the French troops have
advanced ,so far in Alsace that the
region remaining under their con-
trol had to be incorporated in the
GdSernment of France, and Alsace
has become what it was before
1870 -French in laws, customs and
procedure. •
•
The Germans several days ago re-
cognized in an offieial statement
Shat the allies were planning a. gen-
arta forward movement in Alsace,
and warned 'their people to expect
such news. It has been known here
fer 8101ne time that this plan had
met with full suocess, but not until
Friday was the seal of aocomplish-
ment set Ilona it in the appoint-
ment of M. Paulhe as administra-
tor of th.e region, with his head-
qu,aater'at Dan.nemarie.
FRANCE BUILDS AM FLEETS
Large Divisions of Aeroplanes Will Operate, In-

A despatch from New Yorks says:
France is building two great fleets
of aircraft, armed with cannon,
darts and bombs, with will& to in-
vade Germany in the spring, accor-
ding to Pedro Cbapa, a Mexican
aviator, who has be.en in Europe
for the past four years, and who
arrived here on ..the Cunard liner
Carpathian. Hundreds cif armored
biplanes, each carrying a small
cannon and bombs, and numerous
monoplanes equipped with bombs
and steel darts, will be ready to
sweep across the ,Geernan frontier
when winter is passed, he said.' The
monoplanes are intended mainly for
seout•work, and will ma.ke a speed
of 120 miles an hour. All the aero -
panes will have a cruising radius of
130 miles from the frontiers, said
Chapa, and their atta'ek vvill not. be
in the form of raids by. .a, few ma-
chines as hitherto,. but by large di-
visions. The .aviators.to Man these
maahine,s are now being trained in
several large cities for the purpose,
